@eigthplague: BECAUSE YOU CANT BE AN INNOVATOR FOR 20 FUCKING YEARS
They can rest on their laurels and play the music they want and piss on their "legacy" and the "cultists" all they want since it doesnt belong to ANYBODY, not even Darkthrone themselves. No matter what they do later, and if people like it or not, the legacy CANNOT be altered.

It's been 20 years what do you expect?UNDER A FUNERAL MOON pt. 6?!

It's not about being an innovator for 20 years. It's about not flipping entirely into the other end of it. Calm down, chief.

That's not to say that people won't legitimately enjoy it, but if you know what bands they're "paying homage" too, there's absolutely no reason to listen to this, because it's second rate in comparison.

this is retarded. so we shouldn't listen to any metal bands that pay homage to any other metal bands? what the fuck?? bahahahahah

Where the fuck did you get that from?

The point was that this sounds like entirely mediocre stuff that simply makes you want to listen to the original. If it was good "homage", then I'd have been fine with it. I thought I made that pretty clear when I answered the question about Midnight, Speedwolf, etc.

I also have no interest is "kvlt" pissing contests...shit, I was one of the most vocal supporters of Ghost when that thread kept popping up every few days. Good stuff is good regardless of it's age, popularity, or reputation. This is simply not good stuff._________________If you are a false don't marry!

And now we have fags complaining about other fags. A "fagoboros" if you will.

Bad example. You see, to me Black Metal is Black Metal, Darkthrone or Blut Der Nacht. Some I might like some it's just a fuzz in my ears. I enjoy old Graveland and Darkthrone but I also like their newer albums as well. Most bands lose my interest after 2 or 3 songs. Not too many bands are able to release a solid album these days. And that's why I prefer BM in small doses with very few exceptions.

And the Blut Der Nacht track you posted is actually ok. And this is coming from me, a dork who enjoys Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity

Haha right. Is that why you have to let everyone know how obscure your taste is?

- Solid, if not underrated at the time, death metal band (89 - 91)
- Innovator of second wave black metal, why they are famous (92 - 95)
- Stagnation / maturity, treading the beaten path (96 - 04)
- Re-branding, no longer straight forward BM band (06 - 08 )
- Capitalizing on rebirth as a band paying tribute to the old (10 - present)

Anybody who was expecting something that resembles the Darkthrone of old is simply not paying attention and/or delusional. I can't recall a Darkthrone album being released (first one I was "conscious" for was 'Hate Them') to as much hype as 'The Underground Resistance'. Most bands die out long before their 25th anniversary, yet Darkthrone is as relevant as ever (they were quite ahead of the curve on this boom in interest for new bands doing old school worship [particularly heavy and speed metal]).

And we have a winner!
